DM Documents

Controlled Documents

The LSST DMS requirements and high level design are defined in a series of controlled documents. These describe the DMS as it is planned to exist prior to the Operations phase of the LSST project.

The LSST System Engineering (LSE) documents are the highest level, project-wide requirements; those listed above pertain in part to the Data Management System. The LSST Data Management (LDM) documents are those that describe the DMS design, in response to the LSE requirements. 

DM Software

The following documents describe the DMS as it exists today, as a functional prototype of the planned system.

titleLSST DM Software User Guide

The LSST DM Software User Guide describes the high-level design of the LSST pipelines, how to install them, how to run them, and how to use them to develop your own data reduction pipelines (i.e., what modules/APIs are present and appropriate to use under what circumstances). This document will be geared towards the end-users (e.g., Level 3, Science Collaborations) and operators who primarily need to run the code, and also towards developers and advanced users who both need to know how to run it and build on top of it.

titleLSST DM Developer Guide

The LSST DM Developer Guide will document the processess and capabilities available to LSST DM staff developers. This will include what machines are available, the development procedures for planned changes (tickets, reviews, merging, etc.), how continuous integration operates, data challenges, etc. This will be the second document a new LSST/DM developer will want to read.

Project Planning

Project development during the Design/Development phase of LSST has consisted largely of Data Challenges. 

Presentations

Links to DM presentations (power-point slides, conference papers, and links to journal articles) will appear here.

Reference Material

DM uses Confluence to collect meeting notes and status information. The material here is not structured to provide a convenient entry-point to the DM system. Instead, refer to:

Teams & Working Groups

The following teams within DM have substantial presences on Confluence:

In addition, ad-hoc working groups are established on an as-needed basis.

Services

Information on services currently provided by DM is available through the Developer Guide.The DM services status page on Confluence provides further information and maintenance/outage information.
